When difficulties arise, such as this property is involved in, the trite causes are too Otte!, kept out of view, and the Select Com 'mitre& have, in the resew ns:tante, ascribed to flee management of individuella misfohunes which they ',either had it in their power to Avert or contronl. The Getter-al Committee, in their last Report to the General 'Meet ing of Proprietors, have given their opi;iion of the services of the Trustee, whose con fillet is so mewl) animadverted upon by the Select .Committee, and their opinion, not withstanding those ammadversions, has only been strengthened by the further experience they have had of the exertions-of Mr. Moore, for the benefit of the . Proprietors. Neither are' the General Committee at all persuaded -of the incapacity of the other Members of the Sub• Committee, from the sweeping condemnation whirl' has been pass ed upon them_ in the Report. , The very circuit). staoce,of the'except ion of LorelYal mouth front this condemnation, who had concurred in every Rita -I.are of the Sub-Committee, previous to his resit. nation,is a proof of its injustice. The GeneralCom tnittee were very sensibl• of the valuable acces sion of his Lordship to the Sub-Committee at the period of Mr Lamb's reSignation„,and lament, as One of the worst consequences of the ,late Osseo lions, the loss of his dile services to the Proprie tors—but stilt., if the misfortunes of the.Theatre lore been caused, as alleged, byorismanageinent, .IMr. Lamb, who was one of the parties in theap plication to the Coort,of Chancery for the injunc tion, and who assumed, before his resignation, almost the sole controul and management of the 'stage, and Lord Yarmouth, who subsrytently. concurred in all the measures which were pur ,sued, are equally implicated in the alleged misona :nagement with the other Members of the Sub- Committee. "-The General Committee trust that therecorn rnendatioo they have made, that the present,. and any fotnre_Sub-Committee, will.intertere as little as possible with the details of mattae,emeoi, afier the election of a proper person as Manager, will put an end to these useless discussions about the capacity of individuals of the Sob-Commit tee. for the matrigement of the Stage. It may he at least permitted to them further to entertain a doubt whether any Menthers of the Select Committee are more capable than those now its office ; and as far as experience goes, the services of the only Member of the Select Committee, who had been ar,o a Member of - the -Sub-Committee, were anot productive of much : benefit to the Proprietors. As the most distressing and ievirlious ditty of the Serb-Committee, that of controttling and correil ing expense, and endeavouring to stay pressing demands of creditors, to, prevent. the seizure of - the eff.ctS of the Theatre, has devolved upon Col. Donglas and Mr. Moore, who arc also Trustees, 'it is 110 t altogether surprising, that in the per formance of that duty, they should have subject ed themselves to some part of the •feeling which is stated to, exist against them. Had .they given their countenance to the continuance of useless expenditure, or the supply of articles at extrava gant prices, itavoeld not have been difficolt to ac quire popularity with person connected with the establishment ; teed the allegation in the Report of the Seluct _cominittee, that supplies were made at. extravagant rates, cannot reliantly apply since the period at which the expenditure came under the di rection of these Gentlemen, for they have devoted unremitting attention to this object ; and during the last selsoti, great part of the supplies were Taid for as delivered in ready money. That they have done their dory, is therefore tire amount of the accusation :against them ; and in the Report -of the Select Committee, who have had access to =their whole accounts. and proceedings, .there is ^not, and could not ,be, the slightest allegation against the correctness. of both. In making these remarks, which the observa tions of the Select Committee in their Report have called forth, the General Committee beg to be understood as not ascribing the misfortunes of the Theatre to any preceding Sub-Cornmittee.— They are confident the true causes to which these misfortunes are to be attribute,ll had their origin in the formation of the establishment on its pre sent scale, and have been gradually since increa3- td by unfavourable theatrical seasons, and the growth of minor theatres, encouraged by the high prices of admih,sion at the Patent Theatres, and which were required to promise any adequate re turn fur the far too extended capital embarked in them. " The three specific remedies recommended by the Select Connnittee in their Report - , to repair these misfortunes, are, the dismissal of the pre sent Sufi-cointoitiee front office ; the election of Air. Colman as manager, with► unlimited powers and the raising a sum of money to relieve the pro perty from the claims of the creditors. "Of the first of these, the General Committee have expressed their opinion, but they will not , object :(it their re-electio❑ at the next General Meeting Will permit them so to do) to give their _ . • - assistance to promote the wishes of the Proprie tors with respect to such alterations in the Sub- Committee as the resignation of the two mem bers will enable them to effect. They will even go further, and as Mr. Wilson has ,expressed. his readiness to retire on such an arrangement, they tvill be baiwy to consult with the Proprietors as to the nomination of the majority of anew Sub . instibi•ltte'e • thal thicy disire to retain the fielViCkS of Mr. Moore men d Col. Douglas, which they consider to he essential in the ire rests , of their Constituents. These Gentlemen have •-tlre,oly devoted their whole time, and may be imlocvd to do so again, to these affairs; a n (t it is not very easy to rind successors who have-ex - perivoce, and their time disengaged, to apply to such a purpose. " With respect to the election of Mr. Colman as Manaecr, the General Committee refer to the Report of the Sub-Committee, and they are per fectly satisfied it a °o ld he both imprudent and injudicious to eotroat into his hands, or "those of arty other Manager, the powers which lie desires, as the primary condition of entering _into any ne gociation ; attd although they nay entertain quite as high at: ()potion of Mr. Coltnan's talents and dbilitirs ,ai that expressed by the Select Commit tee, they sti;l cannot consider the probable result of any exertmo,of those talents and abilities saffi cit-ot to compensate for their deviating from what has been the. practice since the commencement of the Establishment, and entrusting the purse strings of the Proprietors into the hands of a tem porary springer, in whatever estimation they may hold his qualifications for that office. " With respect to raising a stint of money to nable such Committee as may ultimately direct the concerns of the Pieatre to accomplish the composition offered by the Creditprs, that is an object in,the propriety of which both the General and Sob-Committees entirely concur. The pro position is neither new, nor the suggestion of the Select Committee, and was recommended to the Proprietors by the, General Committee at the ge• nerd' meeting‘, from which the Select Committee emanated, at their express recommendation. There can be no difference of opinion as to the measure itself, and t h e General Committee only diff r with the Select Committee as to the means of effecting it, without an application to the Legislature, en abling them to grant securities on all the property of the Theatre, to, such persons as May be willing to advance the money required. " The Select Contrnittee .state in their Report. that they ate prepared to advance. 4,5001. of 17,0001. %vat, red; loom condition'q the resignation of the Sub-Committee,. and the appoitumcbt of other. Members. They look, in addition to this, to the General Committee for a further advance to complete the "snot of 17,0001. The . General Committee have already deckled, that they would consider the retirement of the temaioing menibets tit the Sob-Committee as prejudicial to the inte rests of the Proprietors, and certainly their confi dence, in the. success of rite_proposed plaits would I not be increased by the change which . has been suggested, nor is - there any probability,- looter such circumstances, of their subscribing to the loao. Unless,. therefore, the Select Committee will them selves advance the whole money, in which event, and in . consideration of the substantial benefit they woold confer upon "the Proprietors, the Ge neral Committee might think - it imperative upon (ben' to place the Theatre, at all events, as an ex periment. undyr such management as they might require; (and the present S , .b-Cominittee would be too happy, itt such case, to make way for their successors ) But unless such conditions can he ;guaranteed, it will - begtecessary. some-other plan should he devised than a reliance on the volun tary contributions of individuals to relieve the property from ihis''bOrthen; wit bout" which, the Theatre, although it May' be' opened at the commencement of the season, cannot remain open, it the creditors are hostile, for any consif derable period. " Placing little dependence on any other plan for raisin; this.money than that they originally proposed to the General Meeting, the General Committee have recommended to the Suh-Com mittee the consideration of an efficient plan, to be submitted to the Annual Meeting in Septem ber, for the arrangement of all the existing claims on the property, by either further securing the claimants, or raising money for the satisfaction of their claims, ender the authority of an Act of the Legislature, empowering the General Committee to mortgage the _whole property for that object. " The General Committee have only further to impress upon the consideration of the Proprietors the certain ruin in which a continuance of the late dissensions must involve t heir property. Their difficulties are already nearly insurmountable. and they will be rendered completely so, unless party and personal feelings can he buried in a general desire to unite in the endeavour to extricate the Theatre front the embarrassments which have so neatly overwhelmed it. " The. General Committee trust it will be ad mitted, that in this Report they have shown every disposition to consult the teelings and wishes of all parties ; they have come to the resolution of approving the Report of the Sub-Committee, on the most mature consideration and reflection of the w hole situation of the Theatre ; and they are fully convinced, that the diffienhies attending it would only have been increased by not Opening it at the usual season. They further rely that the PrUprietors, giving them credit for the motives which could alone influence their determination, will generally confirm it by their approbation. " By order of the General Committee, N. WARD, Secretary. " Theatre Royal, Drury Lane, Aug. 29, 181 S." The followin4 the Report of the Sub-Com mittee to the General Committee, referred to in the preceding Report : " The Sub,Conimittee submit to the consideration of the General Cummittee the occurrences which have taken place since the meeting on the 28th July last. " On that day, at the meeting of the General Assembly, it was determined by a majority of votes, that the •Report of the Special Committee (appointed to investigate all the con cerns of the Theatre) should be adopted, in preference to the Report of the General Committee. " The Resolutions in the Report of the Special Committee embraced two objects; the one, to negcniate with all the Cre ditors on the property to accept a composition of ten shillings in the pound up o n th e i r respect i ve debts, under an engage ment that the Theatre should not be opened till that com position was carried into effect ; the other, to place the whole regulation,,condnet, coutroul, and expenditure of the Then tee in the hands of George Colman, Esq. " The Sub-Committee 'conceived, and they have since been confirmed in their opinion by the highest legal authority, that the utmost extent of the Resolutions of any Special Com mittee, not ►ecoguized by the Acts of Padiament, must be li mited solely to advice and recommendation. " The,General Committee have concurred isj the opininn of the Snb-Counnittee, as appeais by theix last ifVOnri, that the adoption of such measures as proposed by the Select Spe cial Coungittce would occasion aboulitte ruin to tfie property .Inl ,• , • Tlo their direction and that the grant of such un liiliritne'illed iiowers.uf management would he IICQ111;' , Itt i their due controot over the 'establishment, Which has been placed, erclusively, in their hands by the Legislature. The Sub-Conisnittee hare, in consequence, proceeded to make the neca*sary arran*ements for opening the Theatre. " They tir:t applied to Mr. Colman to ascertain upon what ttruis, and with what powers, he would undettahe the ma nagement, but that Gi•ritlenian )' - equired, that the financial dithculties of the Theatre. should -In; removed, before he would state the terms of his proposed arrangement.- This reply, of course, concluded the negociatiMi. "It MitV he necessary to state, from undonbted autboritY, that that ilentlemrot required an imeontrouled direction of the Theatre for a term of years, upon a very high salary, with an additional salary to a Stage Manager of his own appoint ment. " The Suh-Comesittee then entered into terms with Mr. Stephen fien)le, a Gentleman' of kno.vn dramatic talents and experience, of integrity and indspendence; and he has undertaken the entire direction of the stage in its several de partments, under the controul of the-hun-Counnittae, upon a salai7.- of 4001. per annum, and a commission of 10 per cent. upott profits. " The Committee were proceeding - in the other arrange ments of the Company, when they were interrupted -by the following Placard, issued by Mr. G. H. Ittibins, and most in deem...els-1y paraded ocia board; before Drury Lane Theatre, and posted up against the walls of every Theatre in the me tropolis, which was 'most injurious to the interLsts of Drury- Lane, PLACARD. Dru I , f-La n e Theat re. On the part of the Select Committee of the concerns - of the Drury-Lane Theatre, of which Committee I am Chairman, 1 hereby give Notice, that by a:Resolution of the meet of Proprietor, of the said Thear re, Reid o n the 3tst day of July was determined,' that tire- said Theatre should not be re-opened ; and t hat no contracts or eugagements should he made,' by the Sub-Conimitte4 '1 Management, with performers or other persons; until certain arrangements were made; and that such arrangements have not been made, so that no en gagemellt or cuiltraCt made, or which shall be made by the said Sub-Committee, will be valid or effectual. Performers, or other persons concerned, are, therefore, hereby .caut lotted against making or entering into airy such contract or en gagement. G. H. ROBINS, Chairman of the Select Committee.' " This placard not having the effect of stopping the efforts of the Sub-Committeedor opening the Theatre, an injunction was obtained from the Court of ChanLery upon the'ex-prte application of Mr. G. H. Rubins, the Honourable Geori. Lamb (a Member of the (km ral Commillet), John Ellis 1 . 1 hi; Solicitor in the cause), and others. The Sub• Committee im mediately prepared their answer to that bill, and upon a heari,g before the Chancellor, he determined, after a Most luminous exposition of the bearings of the two Acts of Par liament, to diSolre the injunction. " In direct opposition to this decision, of the highest au thority, Mr. G. H. Robins caused the tollewing Notice to be served •upoo the Sub•Committec:— To the Right 11,111. Frauds Sepnour Conway, commonly called the Earl of Yarmouth, Peter Moore, Richard %Vikig, Patrick Douglas, and Robert Walpole, Esqrs. and whom rise it dotb or may concern, The Select Committee appointed by the Theatre Royal, Cowp,u►y of Proprietors on their own behalf, and on behalf tit all other the Proprietors and parties interested in the said Theatie, do hereby protest against your right to as sume the style and title, a:sd exercise the powers, of the Sub- Counoiti tit:Management oft he said Theater, and against all acts wi,ich you and each or any of you have (lola., aodeogage tuents a hick you or any of you have made or authorized, or shall or may make, enter into or authorize under such style and title.

Signed (by uglier of the mill Committee). • G. H. It.OI3INS.' " The Sub-Committee submitted this extraordinary notice, to the consideration of their standing Coutiftd, 'who has given his decided t lust such notice on the part of Mr. Ro bins, as Chairman of a Special Committee, is- of inure weight or validity tlian if it came from any other individual Proprietor ; and the tiub-Committee, by their answer to t Bill in Chancery, and the Lord Chancellor's decision thereon, are bound to proceed in the execution of their do ty. " Notwithstanding the weight of this opinion, questions have been started in the Court of Chancel yas to tie infor mality of the election of the Sub Committee, they, therefore, now - revert to at► authority, which is indisputabiy valid, the authority of the General committee. The Sutt•Cautuiittre are only a component part of the General Committee, and' consider themselves as delegated by tht. General Committee, with certain limited powers; and as the form of that delega tion is objected to, however erroneously, they now call upon the General Committee to exercise tl►eir authority in giving validity to the acts and piumedings of the Sub-Committee. " The Suh-Committee have provided the nec:ssary means for opening the Theatre, by an arrangement won their• bankers,giving them security on the property of the Theatre, anti to repay the advance by instalments out of the nightly receipts. _ " in refutation of the charge of their management having greatly increased the debt of the Theatre, the su It-Committee annex an abstract of the income and expence of each season respectively.

" The defalcation of receipts appears to warrant the trial of any experinsent which affords hope of improvidg the state of t;ie property.

" The tradesmen have generally agreed to accept a compo sition of ten shilliAgs in the pound, th,reby reducing the debt to 16,0001., which must be inmiethately provided, or such means devised fur providing it, as will prove satisfactory to those Claimants. " Anoth'er branch of debt consists of arrears of annuity to the New Renters. The Sub-Committee consider, that if the New Renters eau be, assured of a punctual payment of their s annuity in future, they will either give time, or enter into an i arrangement With the Committee fur the settlement of their arrears.
